I just don't get it.

he's just not good right now.

This is pathetic.

Apparently they didn't give that memo for Moncada. That guy always gets screwed with close pitches.

He hasn't built up quite the reputation for taking walks as Yaz.

I feel like he's hit that exact batted ball in these situations like 25 times this year

it's the Crede swing when he was going bad.  Not sure if he's pulling off or dropping the back shoulder.  All I know is it's not like he's hitting into bad luck in those spots.

My kids will be in nursing homes by the time the A`s are in a new park not in Oakland.

Sox on a pace to leave 21 on. Record is 20. Alert the Hall.

Somehow that car on the wall is going to come off of it and hit Eloy

Lambert can give  them five good innings, I like the chances against the As bullpen.  They will have to go their by the fifth.

2 rockets, 2 outs. I like it.

Personally I think the grandal at bat was huge extends pitches and extra batters and we will be in the bullpen by the 5th.on another note the batting order plaid great for Vaughn with then bases loaded but he sucked.

Yeah, they'll be in Las Vegas long before they ever move into a new ballpark in Oakland. Surprised they've lasted this long.

Lambert was asking to get burned being that aggressive vs Olson but I'm glad it worked out.

123 3rd for Lambert

God he's so bad in that situation.  So many of those weak pop ups

It’s so bad that it would be a good idea of giving him a take sign.  Maybe he gets ahead of the count or gets a walk.

I think Yasmani did a good job recognizing Oakland hitters were sitting on offspeed/change up, letting the fastball fly from Jimmy for a bit the inning before this last one, and now it's a bit more of an even fight. Good inning.

Definitely dropping the back shoulder. Overloading.

He lost all his power it seems

Damn.  Cesar gave it a ride. 

Man, Hernandez HAMMERED that ball, but into the valley of terrible ball parks it went.

That is a homer in half the parks in the majors.

Oh look who's up with 2 on and RISP

Actually nowadays I prefer Leury with RISP than Vaughn.

Looks like even Hernández is preferable to Vaughn.  Let’s bat Vaughn 9th. If at all.

Robert looks incredible at the plate
